I'm a bit thick, so...  ::)

I can join here as a reserve in any GT2 or GTC car and score points?  :)
Or a non scoring car? Which are those?   :)

Sorry again if it's a n00b question.  :-[

You can join as a reserve and score Points TT (if you can get in - demand will be high I think).

Yes Tom.  That is correct.  But good luck with getting a reserve place.

I would have loved to be in this championship, but for some reason I was overlooked...  :no:

Good luck everybody with a full-time place.  But if you miss a race I WILL hunt you down.  :P

Do you guys think the BiTurbo might be a contender for some good spots ?

What are you guys taking ?  :)

Nope, the Bi-Turbo is G2 and hence not eligible to race.

Fred's entriely correct, the 993 GT2 is G2 but the 996 GT2 BiTurbo is GT2. I blame the FIA for renaming the classes!

I try to be polite  :D ;D

So ? what are you guys thinking about the BiTurbo ?

It's godlike on tracks like Monza and other fast tracks. It might also be good at Anders because of the long straight and the corners in which overtaking is next to impossible. For the rest of the season:

- Silverstone: Quite good, fast track with some nice long straights.
- Estoril: Not so good. One long straight but the rest is very twisty with some very long corners. I think it will struggle here.
- Dubai: Again a twisty track, but with two nice straights. Pretty hard to judge the car for this track.
- Enna: Fast track, but hard to overtake people after those straights (tyrewalls). The only place to overtake is after the last tyrechicane. But still exit speed will be much less in the Bi, so I expect it to be quite a handfull here.
- Oscherleben: Twisty track with hardly a long straight. Not a good track for the Bi Turbo/
- Magny-Cours: 1 long straight and some fast chicanes. Especially those chicanes will be hard I think in this car. Average track for the Bi.
- Imola: Many fast chicanes, soemthign quite hard in the Bi. Also averga track for the Bi

Remember that these are just assumptions of me and by far not accurate ;D. I hardly ever driven the Bi-Turbo, but I know it's a car with bad handling but good topspeed, so fast tracks with no fast corners is your best bet. Again, no guarantee this :D

Thanks for your answer anyway  8) very help full..
I think I'm gonna test more this weekend and choose one..

The M3 might be an option too for me.. it's easier to drive it seems  :laugh:

Both use their tyres very hard and both drink fuel though. Not so bad in Sprint I suppose. In Endurance it really puts you on the back foot after the pit stops.

I ran the bi turbo last season in the  sprint races and did ok but it wasn't the best handling car , as Ruskus says its good on the faster tracks but on some of  the twister  ones  it becomes a handful but i have been doing some testing with the new weight penalty's and it's less of a handful and a lot more responsive on the twister tracks.
Also i have been doing some testing with the seat as well and with the weight drop on this car I think this could be a better all round car than the bi turbo for this seasons  tracks but that said the engine in the seat seems to be very fragile compared to the bi turbo's bullet proof gas guzzler   :)

Are there engines more supposed to break down ?

Yeah, the GTC and Modena are weak. The RSR is also bulletproof.

In all the races i have done in  the seat I have finished 1 out of 3 races due to the engine letting go the engine just doesn't seem to take a good thrashing and it just pops with no warning. I think with a bit of practice it should be ok for a sprint but not sure about an enduro race

as for the bi turbo i haven't blown an engine yet  :)

Hey, hold on, drove the GTC in sprint and enduro events last season (6 sprint/4 enduro) and the engine was fine in all except the last 5 laps at Barcelona during the enduro where smoke came pouring from the rear!!!! finished tho!!
that was my own fault for having the radiator setting too low  :P

Yeah, but I didn't say it can't finish a race. If you push a GTC or Modena the whole 80 minutes (manual clutch) it is much more likely to blow up then the RSR in the same conditions.

Hmm, weird. I've raced 90 minute races at Sim-Challenge, pushing the whole nine yards and so far (knocks on wood) it hasn't blown up yet. No RPM reduction, just always on radiator 4.

Yeah the fact I went down from 5th to 3rd in about 1 sec (was nervous and my hands started going all shakey  :-[ )when I was downshifting for top corner probably didnt help,2 upshifts after that,BOOOOM  :o  >:(   :'(

Never had any problems with RSR - I don't lower rpm limiter, not even for Endurance. The only time GTC died on me was a Super Endurance in Silverstone, but I was pushing it high. My usual driving would get him through.  :)   I use auto clutch.

We have a race at Sim-Challenge at Anderstorp and I just did my qualifying run of a 1:27.992. That was with 20kg weightpenalty. so with the SRou version it should go (in theory) a bit quicker.

Qually was extremely close. 23 Drivers within 1.3s of eachother. I hope to see you on track tonight :thumbup1:.

I guess racepace will be low 29ers, but that's just a guess.

 :'(  >:( Cant believe it,the start of the new season has been a nightmare for me  :'( ,trying to get used to the 360 ,G25 and left foot braking technique,but its all too much for me.Decided to give the 360 a go but then changed my mind by end of practice 1 and went for the RSR.
Tried to get used to the car change but its odviously not the cars,its me  :'( ,cant seem to get 2 clean laps in and had 3-4 offs in first 10mins.By then I was too stressed to keep on fighting back  :'( ,not an impresive start in the new team  :-[ sorry guys!Hopefully I can get back in form SOON

Quite an uneventfull race for me, expept for the next to last lap  ::).

Quallytime was good, but I hoped to sneak under the 1:28's :).
After that I good slowly increase my gap. And at the next to last lap I had a 10s lead or something.
I then went a bit wide out of T1 and I came between the area where airstrip meets that corner, and all of a sudden my backend went up up and awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay and  I shot to the left and ended somewhere near the trees  :lol:.
CJ was soon there to take first. Stupid mistake by me, but deserved win for CJ as he drove very consistent with that Bi-Turbo  :thumbup1:

Good race all

Had a slowish start, decided to put hard slicks on rear just before start which actually wasnt to bad at all, just took a long time to heat up. First problem, i didnt know about this blue flag bug so let the guy behind me through, but didnt go away so continued. Great racing with simon, right up your backside for most of the race only to make stupid mistakes when settings up for the pass. Must have been about 10mins to go and picked wrong gear on first corner locked the wheels and spun out. Simon was gone! :( If only i didnt let you pass with the stupid blue flag bug :p

Was an great race tho!

Cracking first race of the new season.

Didnt qually too well (16th), but would have been higher other than dropping to 1st and spinning when well up on my time on last bastich corner  ::)
Still i knew i was in good stead for the race as could set only slightly slower times in full race configuration.

Race started well, nice and clean and set about trying to move up the field. Got up the inside of Darren on lap 2 or 3 and got through cleanly at turn 3. Got past a couple of more cars that were having incidents and then had a good little battle with Colin Hines in his Shark RSR, and got past him with a good move up the inside under braking for the final corner. 8)
The car was handling great and i was confident of keeping up a great pace, as i closed down on Jan Dujis in 8th/9th? in his Porker. Then spent about 10-15 mins putting him under some pressure, staying within 0.7 seconds for lap after lap, hoping he would make an error but he kept it together and we kept station for ages.
Unfortunately with about 10 mins to go my front right was showing wear of 21 and the car started to handle alot more poorly in the sweeping banked corners and whilst trying to stay hard on Jans heels, i locked up and went wide at the horrible first of the carousel corners, and lost about 7 seconds and a place back to Colin  :(
It then became a real handful to get the car around and i started dropping a second a lap, falling into the clutches of Buckie and a gaggle of cars behind him.
A lap later whilst hot and flustered and peeved at myself for throwing away a top 10 position and with my mirrors full of the Scotland bonnet of Buckies car i braked too late at the second bank corner and slid over the high kerbing, dropping 4 or 5 places  :'(
I was gutted :(
I had no more fight in the car with 7 mins remaining and a front left on 30+ tyre wear, it was a case of just keeping an average lap time up and keep the gap steady to a distant Mosler? i could just make out in my mirrors.
Brought the car home 13th and desperately disapointed to lose out on 30mins of top 10 running, all because of flipping tyre wear on one wheel.  :'(....ooh and the two minor offs  ::)  :-[

Great clean racing by everyone, really enjoyed it. The RSR is back to its lean mean self and i enjoyed driving it once again. 8)
Congrats to the uber alien podium  :P 8)

Started off ok but after about 2/3 distance my rears started melting and I just couldn't keep it under control. Slipped back a few places then got hit off and lost a few more ;D Nice to finally have a race again after my old connection probs. Sure beats the hell out of hotlapping all the time.
Amazing qualifying lap Ruskus and Grats CJ on the victory :thumbup2:

Yes mate, killer move! Lost 2 places in 2 corners at that time.

I really enjoyed the race overall. Had some great battles in the mid-field. Took a nudge from Darren chasing down MJ and that put me back a few places. Managed to get passed another 2 and then past Darren again. Shame we didnt get to battle more :thumbup1:

Last 15 minutes saw me in a great battle with Buckie and Baracus. Excellent stuff guys, very clean racing! In the end Buckie made a mistake at one of the bends running wide, so I took advantage to claim 10th place. Happy with my set up too and the mediums lasted well for the 40 minute stint. Overloaded on fuel again though ;D

Not a bad start in the GTC championship although not many of us in it. Should be a podium every week for me then. :whistling:  ;D

Quite a dull race, but 2nd in class only a couple of seconds behind Nev in another Mosler. Picked up a couple of places in the overall rankings on the first lap, then picked up a few more from people's offs. Other than that very little company during the race. Tyre wear was fine due to my smooth driving style and really stable setup, unlike fuel consumption (had to start with 76 litres and had about 8 litres to spare at the end). Hope the extra fuel tanks I jettisoned half way through didn't get in anyones way.  :laugh: Just drove my own pace really which apparently wasn't quite enough to challenge Nev but was also too fast for any other GTC class cars. Zzzzz.

Reasonably pleased with 16th? in the Mosler in that Porsche Challenge championship race. :angel: :-X

Fairly straightforward race for me with only one minor incident. Managed to bag GTC pole quite comfortably with a 30.6 in the Mosler. The only excitement in the early laps was trying to dodge all the errant RSRs which kept falling off the track all around me, and then making sure I didn't get tangled with them as the eventually caught and passed me again.

Rest of the race was quiet until about 3/4ths distance when I braked to late at the end of the front straight and had a minor off into the gravel. When I got back on track I was suprised to discover the Blue Shark Mosler of the Evil Gymer bearing down on me and only 2 seconds behind  :o
My tyres were really struggling by that time but the off woke me up and I managed to ease it home with a 2 second gap intact.

Looking forward to seeing how the Mossie performs at the other tracks on the calendar. Congrats to CJ on the GT2 win in the Panzer  :tank:

Well, lap 2 was very odd. Coming into T2 after the long straight, I suddenly get the blue flag icon flashing like mad, then my radio "You've had 3 blue flags, pull over!", then something or someone half-appeared in front of me, and I was suddenly bearing down much too quick on a Porsche!

I didn't miss my breaking spot (by much if at all), and he seemed to be braking at the same point as me, but I seemed to be gaining on him and it was going to be a collision. So, I threw myself at the grass - the only thing I could do to avoid an accident. Came across the grass and back on to the track in front of a few cars, and I think Pedro had to swerve to avoid me and hit Truetom. Really sorry about that guys, and sorry to the Porsche I scared under brakes.

After that, had a good race with Tom, PauloR, Fred and Reign Man. Particularly with Luke joining in, it was pretty close! Once I'd passed those, it was a bit quiet, with me only passing guys who had spun. Still, good race in the 'mid-to-late-field' :)

Last week i had a major problem with invisible cars so i took the liberty of formatting pc hoping to get rid of it.  ???
Again tonight when the race had started i could only see maybe at max 15 cars on the track. These missing cars seem to appear when they get closer. Ive got all settings maxed so cant really see that being the problem. Im now starting to wonder if it could be a problem with either the skin pack or anderstorp, But seen as no one else has similair prob im left scratching my head. :-\ Anyone got any ideas?

The race. Qualified in 7th getting my pb along the way which i was quite pleased with. When the race started and i noticed cars were not showing i really couldnt get into the swing of things. I was worried incase i caused a disaster. :-[ After a few minor offs i started to settle down and had a ball with baracus and colin. Three of us nose to tail for what mustve been a good 3rd of the race. I had managed to get myself in front and looked good for a 10th place finish until the last lap my brakes just seemed to give up, nearly going off on the 1st bank corner which resulted in losing a place to colin and then again on the final corner my brakes seemed to fail and i ended in gravel with baracus passing leaving me struggling to get out and keep 12th place.

I either lost the bottle or brake duct on 1 wasnt such a good idea  ;D

Great racing guys, well done to podium.

I also had this on numerous occasions at the start of the race. At one point a car flashed in front of me and i seemed to drive straight through it. Very strange.

Im pleased with my how that went.  Struggled to break into the 1.29s, which got me 15th place on the grid, which wasnt too great but considering the  :alien: :alien: who were present it wasnt that bad.

Only made one pass the whole race, and the rest of the places i made up due to people going off for various reasons.  One thing that put many people off track that i could see was the warpy ghost car thing, Jan and another car went off at T6 because a warper or a ghosty car which gave me there spots.

Had a great battle with Backo in the M3,  the beemer had the legs on me up the runway and all the straights for that matter which made passing more or less impossible.  I could never get too close tho,  because when i did his car would warp or be stationary for a split second which hit me on 2 occasions :o.  My tyres were feeling the strain and i had 2 understeery moments at T4 with put me out on the grass twice and outta touch with Backo :-\.  It was then just a matter of hanging on to my place and finishing the race. 

Jan was closing in fairly fast near the end and by the end of the race was right on me... Few more laps and he'd of had me for sure !!

Cheers Mark

Actually, upon watching my replay, I realised that I could only see from 15th place 'downwards' at the start. Luke and Baracus appear from nowhere at T2 lap 2. Quite bizarre, and I haven't encountered it that bad since I was with Tiscali!

It was great stuff Buckie. To be honest I was shocked to see you run wide, though there was a trail of smoke on lock-up from you! Great stuff! Baracus - surprised I was able to deal with the pressure from you, most of the time you were hiding right behind my rear wing ;D

That was 1 thing i double checked before joining the server tonight. I have it set to 36. Im beginning to think this may be a prob with anderstorp as thats twice on same track with a completly fresh install the 2nd time. I never had this prob in any races last season or during fun races.

anyway, not a big story to tell, finished back as i started (21th i believe) :-[
btw, despite of someone been 1 or 2 seconds faster per lap, it doesnt gives
you the right to push to overtake >:( the guy in front of you have the right
to hold his position, even with a less competitive car, as long as he dont
do an unfair driving ::)

That was a fun race! I think I did more overtaking in that race than all of last season put together!

Qualified a contented 12th but made a mistake on one of the early laps and got my left wheels on the dirt braking at the end of the runway whilst side by side with someone and lost a lot of positions (down to 21st i think) then had some really great combat all the way back up the field to where I started! (thanks to some others off's too!)

It was great stuff Buckie. To be honest I was shocked to see you run wide, though there was a trail of smoke on lock-up from you! Great stuff! Baracus - surprised I was able to deal with the pressure from you, most of the time you were hiding right behind my rear wing ;D

Yes that was the highlight (long one) of the race! You did really well - whenever I got a run on you it was at the wrong place with too short a straight to capitalise. So I thought I would try and keep the pressure on and wait for a mistake from one of you but apart from a few place-swaps it all evened out again and I was stuck! Awesome racing!!

I think the results are ok for my positions.  :)  Must have been a hard work, Dave.  :(

My impressions: I think Vertigo doesn't really fit in the GTC class. ANY car ate me up for breakfast on ANY straight. Vertigo was quicker through corners, but you can't overtake through corners - at least I don't do that.  >:(  If you can't close up until the next corner then even high exit speed doesn't help as you're not close enough to try late breaking. I was losing positions on straights and couldn't gain any even though I closed up through corners - the next straight just increased the gap. Wasted evening in a wrong car - I won't take this car anymore anywhere unless I race against other Vertigos.  :(

About racing: I'm in UKGTR from Season 2 on and I must say yesterday it was the first time I had to nudge another car during pace lap to maintain my quali position. WTF  ???  Pace lap is meant to warm the tyres and brakes and engine. Leave space and close up just before pit-limiter is applied.  :P
I saw a bit too much of overdriving, dicy moves, (too) late breaking, overreacting.  :-\  I was a bit concerned at first but when I saw this "racing" car is not gonna take me anywhere higher I eased up and was amused and I enjoyed some of the duels (in front of me - I couldn't race anybody  ;D ) the guys had.  :)

I race Sprints for fun, so I'm gonna change car often here. Mosler looks interesting.  :)

Just like Barcelona I just managed to sqeeze in front of Claus in qual, only to give up the place on the first lap - a small mistake at T1 and his rocket ship BiTurbo was alongside into T2. He didn't force it though, and did the same at T3, but this set up the pass into T4 - nice driving Claus  8)

Mo and Keith took up station behind, and the rest of the race was fairly straightforward. I gradually pulled away from Mo and Claus caught up with Jon and eventually passed him. Jon was then having a real go at fighting back, but in the end went exploring over the bank at T5, handing me a comfortable 3rd. Ruskus tried to make it interesting at the end by going off and rejoining only a couple of secs ahead, but he was still too fast to challenge. Overall I'm quite satisfied with 3rd on a track which seems to catch me out more often than not. A good result from the team too - nice one Mo  :thumbup1: and unlucky Keith  :(

With 3 Kerbies all around the same pace in the NGT sprint I'm vaguely toying with swapping to the GTC cars for a bit more action. Now if Dave could just issue a new pack with a ballasted GT3 RS for me to compete in....

Also Dave, I think there is an anomoly in the results. Claus is shown driving a BiTurbo, but he must have fitted a turbo to an RSR chassis since BiTurbos simply don't go round corners that fast :P

Results look good to me thanks Dave.
I started 5th and finished 4th which I'm well happy with.
Its such a relief to be able to race without fear of the pc crashing now that I've upgraded and all seemed to work well :)

I was in a Kerbies sandwich for most of the race with Paul eeking out a small gap in front and Keith pressuring me from behind. I pushed hard but couldn't catch Paul and Keith eventually got past when I made a mistake. I was settled for 6th at that stage but then Keith disco'd and I saw Jon in the gravel so I gained a couple of spots near the end, even tho I did no overtaking.

A good team result for sure, and amazing to see all three of us Kerbcrawlers with the same pace again this time.

Good clean racing by everyone see you at the next one.

I actually qualified just ahead of Chong, in a time of 1:30.611.

Thanks, now fixed.

Cheers Dave. I believe that time is also a SRou lap record, but I can't see it listed for some reason  ???

I must've forgotten to press the Big Red ButtonTM after updating the database. It seems to be there now.

Yep, thanks (for the delay) DG, it meant I got to keep hold of my record a little longer ..... but then me and Pops were hoping for rain, as the Vertigo was never going to keep the records otherwise!
